<summary>The Forest Service is proposing the Kelsey Peak Timber Sale and Fuelbreak Project to provide timber products to local economies, reduce tree densities, improve watershed conditions and provide defensible space to improve fire protection and human safety. The Kelsey Peak planning area encompasses approximately 19,245 acres; 18,858 acres are National Forest System (NFS) lands and 398 acres are in private ownership. The project would treat approximately 4,789 acres of NFS lands by harvesting timber through thinning on approximately 2,249 acres and create 2,540 acres of fuel corridors.</summary>
<dates>Comments concerning the scope of the analysis must be received by October 13, 2009. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is expected March 2010 and the Final Environmental Impact Statement is expected June 2010.</dates>
